It was a year which featured a kind-hearted gesture to pupils at an infant school in the town from a teaching assistant who was retiring after close on three decades. 1999 will also be remembered for a new look Morley Market as well as Morley Carnival which proved a hit with revellers, young and old. Charity also played a part during the year as well as a focus on community spirit. Enjoy these photo memories charting 12 months in the life of LS27.
